For those who may be interested I have just set up my own 1TB personal cloud storage. How easy was it, almost to easy!

So I purchased a Western Digital 1TB My Book Live yesterday on Amazon for Â£99.99 which was delivered an hour ago. I plugged this into by BT HomeHub router with the supplied patch cable. I then loaded the supplied WD software on my MacBook Air and as soon as it was loaded it asked for a few details and found my new drive immediately.

I then spent about 15mins setting it up how I wanted it and upgrading it to the latest firmware. It then rebooted.

I then generated an access code for my iPad which was entered into the WD 2go Pro App (Â£1.99 from the App Store although there is a free version).

I now have complete access from both my iPad and my MacBook Air.

I'll now play around with it for a while but so far, really pleased with this and all for just a little over Â£100.

I don't recognise movie though. I'd do this too if I had the money but new iPad makes up for it. I will definitely keep this thread in mind though

Hellboy 2 is the movie.

It's a cheap option longterm given most free cloud storage caps out at around 5GB. I have another reason for doing this as well though, I intend converting all my DVD's, buying a WD TV Live box so that I can empty one of my bookcases of DVD's and return it to books and stream all my films instead of having to boot up the player, find the DVD, etc, it'll just all be ready to go
